Option 1

 * Article title
 * Entertainment law


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relative to the topic as it pertains to all things about the legal system in the entertainment industry. The article is written neutrally, giving no reason to believe it is trying to persuade the readers to one side or the other. Each claim does have a citation that is correct and reliable. One thing I saw on the Talk page that got my attention was adding more facts about the most prominent lawyers in this field. I would have liked to read more about that and seen more images on the page. It is apart of several WikiProjects such as WikiProject law and WikiProject media.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Intellectual property


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relative to the topic as it discusses most questions asked when talking about intellectual property. It even discusses common misconceptions about the topic. The article is written very neutrally, only providing facts and no opinions of the author trying to persuade readers. Each claim does have a citation that is correct and reliable that is attached to the page. It discusses patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc. and includes helpful images to the page. It is apart of several WikiProjects but raises some concern on the Talk page about some sources used. I think this article provides much information but I would like to see more examples of infringement, misappropriation, and enforcement on that specific topic.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Attention span


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relative to the topic as it describes all aspects of the human attention span. The article has some points of bias regarding the negativity of not having a long attention span, but overall it remains unbiased for the most part. Each claim does have a citation that is relevant and correct that is attached to the page. It is a part of one WikiProject, the WikiProject Psychology. There are mostly just comments on the Talk page but one concern was brought up related to a conflict with another article but there isn't much information concerning this. I would like to see more information regarding new technology today and how that affects modern society. I would also add more relevant research and studies (relating to school) to this article.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Motivation


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relative to the topic of human motivation and addresses lots of theories and key pieces of evidence throughout the article. It doesn't seem like there is much bias throughout the piece. Each claim or theory does have a citation next to it that is relevant (not necessarily correct) as it pertains to the article. This article is a part of three WikiProjects; WikiProject Psychology, WikiProject Business, and WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors. There are around 45 comments on the Talk page all pertaining to different things. It seems that there are a few problems with this page like the lead section needing to be rewritten along with the tone of the piece not matching the encyclopedic tone used in Wikipedia. Also, some of the sources need further verification. I would like to see more Practical applications regarding Applications in Personal Goals or Applications in Mental Health/Medicine. I would also make certain that all of the links and studies/theories provided in the article are accurate and relevant.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Impulsivity


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article's content is relative to the topic of impulsivity and how it affects our brains as human beings. It doesn't relay any biased opinions or trying to sway the reader to one side or another. Each claim or definition stated is supported with a citation that is relevant and correct. It is a part of two different WikiProjects; WikiProject Psychology and WikiProject Genetics. There aren't many comments on the Talk page. I would like to see more advantages to impulsivity instead of the problems or concerns. I would also explain the types of urgency/types of low conscientiousness and add sensation seeking to the article.
